Extremely Impressed

"We have used several other endpoint products over the last three years including Symantec Endpoint Protection and Kaspersky Endpoint Security. None of them come close to what we've seen Webroot do in its first month on our workstations. The client itself is tiny and very impressive, finding infections on machines that Kaspersky reported as being protected. Scanning is quick and effective. There is no noticeable lag on any machines running the software. The web-based management interface is slick and responsive. It's nice to be able to get into and manage all our PCs without having to first remote into our network."

Best of Class

"WRSA, as we call it to avoid all the unnecessary syllables, not only stacks up against the myriad solutions we've tried in years past -- it dominates. While the personal/home products are great for the average user, WRSA is on a whole other level in a business environment. As a managed services provider we have many clients spread across a wide geographical area. In the past, managing A/V for each client meant logging in to individual servers or even workstations remotely, as the management console simply didn't extend outside of the LAN. With cloud-based control, we can check the status of dozens to hundreds of devices at a glance. Even if a WAN connection is dropped at a client's office, the last reported information is still available in the admin console. The agent commands available to each endpoint provide a level of control that previously would have required a separate remote management solution. The agent itself is extremely lightweight yet powerful, and rarely requires any direct interaction or maintenance at the end-user level. The support so far has been fantastic; the staff are professional, knowledgeable, patient, and rapid in their responses.
I rarely spend the time to write a review of a product, and even more rare are those reviews that are so glowing. The cost-effectiveness, performance, reliability, and support that Webroot has been able to provide puts their products at the very top of our list -- an essential tool for every device we support. Thanks, and keep up the good work!"

The new and Improved Webroot SecureAnywhere

"I have used several of the major antivirus malware systems in my healthcare environment over the years, including the older version of webroot. Everyone of them failed in my recovery bays or procedure rooms where I have multiple laptops attached to patients on Pulse/Ox/Vitals machines with an older slow class B wireless network. Half way into the day I would have to reboot the machines, because they anti-virus would bog them down so bad the patient vital signs couldn't be auto recorded to our medical software because of live or hung scans, or profile downloads or who knows what else was going on. I even marking safe directories to bypass but that didn't help. We eventually just killed off all software and licenses, and tried another vendor hoping not to violate HIPAA regulations. Once I put the new Webroot SecureAnywhere on them, my problems were solved! I could protect my machines, they stayed up, scans don't get hung and are finished in a minute or two max. I have not had a single problem since I rolled it out in January. This is by far the fastest easiest malware solution I have ever used. If I do have a malware hit, I get an email that tells me which machine it was, and that it's already quarantined and clean. I really don't have to do much at all anymore except look at my email."

Get to the "Root" of the problem...

"I'm the IT Director for a large medical services provider and have a relatively small team of staff for a large user base (over 500). We were using other products for years with pretty terrible results. Particularly, we had multiple issues with TDSS and other rooting malware which punched right through our previous anti-virus product (one of the major names). Our solution before Webroot was to pull the device, wipe the hard drive (and MBR) then re-image from our stock image and then customize all the non-standard applications needed for that specific position. This process was time consuming for my staff and frustrating for our users. Especially terminal servers, oh my, they were constantly being infected. We started using Webroot for all our devices (workstations, laptops, servers, even tablets and phones) about a year ago and I can honestly say we have not had to reimage a single device since we started. This product is absolutely phenomenal and I've started using it on all my personal devices as well (moved from ESET to webroot personally shortly after seeing it's performance at work). The scans are very quick and the idle footprint is nearly non-existent. Updates are fast and non-intrusive. Converting our entire fleet to it was extremely easy (I scripted an uninstall batch script and attached it to our login script coupled with a customized MSI (instructions for embedding your company license in the installer are provided by Webroot)and everyone was converted and showing up in the webroot console within a week. We started deploying mobile version of this about two months ago for our BYOD users and our company issued tablets and as a HIPAA concerned organization we love it. If a device is lost, we can quickly locate it via GPS, lock the device with a message to the "finder" to return the device or we can even completely wipe out the information on the device all from our web console. This has really relieved our minds on security issues about these devices being used for work. I'm not being paid for this review. I really just believe so strongly in this product that I want to climb a mountain and shout to the stars about it. I've tried many AV programs over my 20 years in the IT field and Webroot is by far the best one I've ever encountered. I recommend it to all my friends, family and business contacts."

Speediness/effectiveness is the key

"Since the beginning stages of testing, up til this point, I am constantly surprised with the quality and thorough job Webroot does. In an environment where up-time is crucial, we need to have a solution that allows us the ability to have minimal user interruption - Webroot SecureAnywhere allows us to do so. Not to mention, scan times are far less than any other solution I have come across. One could say this is the fastest product on the market. I could not be more impressed with an antivirus solution."

Best AV currently on the market.

"I'm a Sys Admin at a small manufacturing company, I took over the security roll beginning of this year and trialed a number of commercial/enterprise AV products, and far and away Webroot was the best. In my organization spending for info sec is not where I'd like it to be so when I was picking a new AV product it was with knowledge that for the near future that AV and my firewall were going to be it. I believe that my choice to go with webroot has been validated by the fact that in the 8 months we have been using it we have not had a single infection, and my users, like most end users LOVE clicking random links/attachments especially from nigerian princes looking for a little help moving some $. When we first started testing it webroot seemed too good to be true, installs in 1-2 seconds and scans are fast with no detectable performance impact. So, I installed webroot on a laptop, connected to some random wifi and did delved the disgusting under belly of the internet (for scientific purposes of course) clicking links you shouldn't and opening attachments on random emails, and at the end nothing made it past webroot. At this point my boss was thoroughly convinced that webroot was witchcraft of some kind."

Webroot.... the best in class!!!

"As a Managed Service Provider supporting over a thousand nodes and end points, we have used and tried most all AV products and solitions available. As we came to expect, all other products have their strengths and weakenesses. Our main points of concern are performance on a system, REALTIME protection, and ease of deployment and managing end points. We rarely experienced a product that was updated quickly enough to handle the newest threats.
WELCOME TO WEBROOT!
Since deploying Webroot to more than half our existing end points, we have immediately seen a dramatic reduction in virus/malware issues and occrances, and the REALTIME proteciotn is the best we have experiened to date. Webroot's Cloud based approach to protection is providing BEST IN CLASS protection and absolutely one of the most up-to-date services we have seen.
Top the benefits of their product with an absolutely STELLAR SUPPORT TEAM. We have called support on occasion for more instructional assistance, not product problems, and they are quick to answer the phone with a REAL person who is knowledgeable and completely capable of assisting us ON THE SPOT without escallating or having to send us to someone else to help. Immediate response and immediate assistance. Truly amazing and refreshing when compared to most other providers.
Thank you Webroot!!
Mike"

Excellent product, simple to use

"We have gone through many antivirus solutions and am currently using Webroot. The latest version works very well with our over 500 installations. Half of the installs are on Terminal Servers both 2003 and 2008. Our incidents of infected servers and workstations have dropped significantly since moving to Webroot."

Finally, an AV that works!

"I am quite happy with Webroot Secure Anywhere on my network. Since installation on my network workstations, I have not had to manually clean a virus or reload an OS as was typical with other AV that didn't 'catch' infections that users accidentally download. The rare false positive is easily fixed when contacting the Webroot technical support. The price point doesn't break the bank and the peace of mind is worth it. After using other more resource intensive products, this is a breeze!"

Lightning speed, easy to use and manage

"WSA Endpoint Protection is ideal install and forget Av software.
WR has many advantages for small businesses (ready to use after installation) and for corporations (comprehensive but easy to manage).
Another advantage -> quick and tangible support line."

- Sebastian

SecureAnywhere is a breeze to use. It has a much smaller footprint (both disk space and memory) than the Symantec product we replaced. Our desktops run better now and we are better protected. As an added bonus, our mobile users stay protected and up to date even when they are away from our office!

Try before you buy.

No Conflicts: Runs alongside other security software so you don't have to uninstall anything to deploy or try it.
